pre-authorized property tax payment program

It’s Simple and Convenient

Economical: One authorization is all that is required for your payments to be deducted automatically from your bank account – reducing your postage and cheque costs. Please note there are no administration costs for this program.

Convenient: You’ll no longer have to write cheques. The payments will be deducted from your bank account on the 1st banking day of each month.

Easy to Budget: You will receive two (2) payment notices each year. The first mailed in December for the period January to July (7 months). The second notice in July, for the period August to November (4 months).

Secure: There are no cheques to get lost or stolen.

Assured: Your payments will always be made on time – even if you’re out of town, avoiding the embarrassment of missed payments, and the cost of any penalty charges.

Easy to Change: If you move your account, immediately notify the Tax Department in writing of the change and a new agreement will be arranged so your payments can continue without interruption. Notice of any changes to your banking information must be received no later than ten days before the end of the month in order for our office to update our files for the next payment withdrawal. If the information is received less than ten days before the next payment and your bank returns the payment, the normal fee will be charged. If an incorrect amount is processed against your account, notify the Tax Department to have it corrected.

Penalties & Charges: The City will charge a fee, plus applicable penalty, for any payment not clearing through your account. Two NSF payments will result in cancellation of the program.
